It was a joyous moment on Friday for Diemesor Gabriel, 21-year-old student of Chemical Engineering, University of Benin (UNIBEN).
Gabriel was presented with a bank draft of N326,000 (Three Hundred and Twenty-six Thousand Naira) by Adesola Amusan, an Assistant Commander of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Benin Zonal Command.
FESTIVAL: UNIBEN Suspends Student Union
According to a terse post on the anti-graft agency Facebook page, the student had in September petitioned the EFCC over the illegal withdrawal of N326,000 from the N600,000 scholarship grant paid into his account.
In the course of investigating the petition, the Commission arrested three suspects and recovered the sum of N326,000.
